Christmas
Eve I had to work job #2 and i got out and stopped over my Aunts house for a
little and hung out. I then spent sometime after with my parents and
brother at their house. We had dinner and did some gifts. I left
and went home and cleaned up and then headed to church. I was a long day
but I love the late service. I've been going for so long its just
something that makes me feel so good when i leave.

The
late night service to me always made me feel so close to my religion. A
quiet service and i usually see old friends from long ago and catch up with
pictures of Quinn. When I left I
headed over to my buddy Andrew’s house.
His parents have people over and its always such a good time. I stopped in and everyone was
there. Jim one of my best and
closest friends was there to great me as well as other long time friends. We all hung out and just went over old times
and just got to catch up.

I
brought my buddy Jim home and we got to talk and catch up. I don’t get to see him as often as I
would like but this year we really did get a lot of time together it was
awesome. I got home and went to
bed I had a long day a head of me.

I got
up and went to church Christmas Morning.
It was on a Sunday this year so I went. It’s kinda nice to go on Christmas day. After I got Quinn and we went
home. She went right to the tree
and started tearing gifts open! She was so cute. She got lots of cute toys and new books and games we have a
lot to do this winter!

Later
after our nap we went to my parents house and had dinner with them and my aunt
and brother. We opened gifts and
then had dinner. It was so nice
she had so much fun and got such nice stuff. Some nice cloths, some new toys and some gift cards to some
of her play places. Like the
sandbox!

The
great part was I brought my computer over and we skyped with my family in
Tennessee. My uncle and aunt and
cousin! Tim and I are really close and talk a lot. It was nice to see them all. Technology is just amazing. It was so nice to see them on the computer.

We
played with her toys and then headed to Jim’s house after. We spend Christmas day there every
year. This year we got to bring
Quinn which was so nice. She was
so excited to see uncle Jimmy. We
played around and Quinn had so much fun.

The
next day we got up and had breakfast and then I had to bring her back to her
Mom’s. This year we just had so
much fun. It was nice to have her
Christmas Day. She’s growing up so
fast I still can’t believe it some days.
Well with New near I’m ready for this Year to be over.

Christmas this year came up so fast I still can't believe it. It sinks still working so much i love this time of year. I got my tree up late and was just running around and never really enjoyed everything. I know I will be able one day to settle down and actually get to enjoy the holidays without working so much and running around. It's okay for now I just keep going now and know it will be over soon....

December
came and went so fast! Quinn was in her first Christmas Pageant.We spend some of our weekends getting
ready and rehearsing.

In
the beginning of the month Aunt took my brother, Quinn and I to dinner for our
annual Christmas dinner. We went
to crescent beach.The dinner was
really nice and then after we took our yearly walk by the lights and lake.After we went out for ice cream, then
back home for a little TV then bed.My brother and I have been going to dinner with my Aunt and Grandma when
we were both kids.We used to pack
up our bags and have a great night.When my grandma passed we continued to go out and added Quinn when she
was born.It’s so nice to keep the
tradition alive.

The
next weekend I had Quinn was in the pageant!Quinn was so cute.She was a lamb and did so good.When she first got up on the alter I guess a couple of the animals
started rough housing and Quinn came down crying cause another animal pushed
her or something lol.She would
then go back up and come back a few more times.I guess it’s not cute unless a little one is running all
around.Then when it was time for
the angles to sing Quinn climbed up on the manger and reached for the
star.It was cute she almost made
it to the top!Everyone was just
staring up to see if she would tumble or tip the whole scene over!!!The angles had to run up and get her
down!The Angles looked over her
it was so cute…

In
the end the congregation was just in love with her and she stole the show.She didn’t really walk down to do her
part but for a 3 year old she did great!

Brad
son’s Gabriel was the donkey they were so cute together!They are all growing up so fast I can’t
believe how many kids there were in the church now.December did go by so fast it didn’t snow till the end of
the month.

Enjoy
the pics!

I started off very quiet and with just basic info and things about Quinn. As i reached out and started answering questions meeting new friends my sight grew. I will talk more about that in my year end wrap up.
